One Hour in Bacon • BaconCamp SF
The presentation I gave today at BaconCamp. Went over pretty well, I thought, even if it does violate all my usual rules about presentations! (Too many words on the screen!)
Applewood Bacon & Apple Pie
Yum!
Press button…
Guess which of these rules I added.
Bacon & Avacado Sushi
My favourite dish.
Done Dippin’
The aftermath.

"In The Loop" Trailer
This looks fantastic — A movie version of “The Thick of It”. Hoping it gets a US release. “You sound like a Nazi Julie Andrews!”
Tethering on iPhone OS 3.0 over AT&T
I suspect this won’t last long, but I’m happy to have it for now!
Standoffish
Bacon appears to have learned that when the red light on my camera shines at him, there's a flash soon approaching.
Susan Kare stickies
A package of post-its decorated with the iconart of Susan Kare. Only $3 from the MoMA online store.
Wonkymirrors
Finally got around to hanging this awesome mirror Joy & I picked up a couple of months ago.

Feel free to double park in SF right now.
Apparently every meter maid in town is parked here. (About 30 other interceptors not pictured)
Aardvark
Truly social search. Sign up and enter some of your topics of expertise. Then IM a question to Aardvark. It will forward it onto appropriate friends and friends-of-friends, and pass on any replies. My first test was completely successful.
I really like they way signing up to ask questions implicitly gets you on the hook for answering, as well as the fact that they link to your Facebook account to quickly garner a social graph. I have some invites if you want to play too.
Aardvark
My first interaction with Aardvark. I figured that sending it out at 1am meant I was unlikely to receive a response, much less a helpful one. I was wrong. Colour me impressed!

kindlefeeder.com - RSS and Atom Feed Subscriptions For Your Amazon Kindle
Get any RSS feed automagically daily on your Kindle. Great for getting the newspapers and magazines (*cough*Economist*cough*) that you can’t buy a subscription for. (Built by a resident of Betahouse)
redis
Key-value datastore. Fast like memcached, but persists to disk and can deal with pushing and popping with lists and sets. Just the thing to solve some of the problems I’ve been having with my RDBMS on a project I’m hacking on.
